I don't know. I've never seen any source to NeTTrom, but I guess it must be at least partially under the GPL. Maybe Rod will enlighten us. >its own package. After all, we want a complete free system, right? I'm >not sure I understand your hesitation to have a NeTTrom package... It just doesn't seem to me that having it packaged buys you much. A nettrom package would be no use after it had been initially installed, so the only advantage is the marginal benefit of being able to upgrade it with apt-get rather than needing to download the image and manually write it. Given that updating the firmware is a slightly hazardous operation, I don't really want to make it happen automatically. >OTOH, if we want "something which installs on any Netwinder", then the >install should probably have a kernel which boots from old NeTTrom, and >supports flashwriting the new one, with NeTTrom available for flashwriting. Yeah. p.
